Euphorbia tirucalli 'Sticks of Fire', also called Red Pencil Tree or Firesticks, is a stunning cultivar of the pencil tree. Its cylindrical, leafless stems turn brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow in cool weather or full sun, creating a fiery display. This fast-growing, shrubby succulent adds dramatic color to landscapes and large containers. Caution: its milky sap is toxic and irritating.
